And we thought she was modelling herself on Nigella, when in fact it was Ronnie Sullivan all along!

My sister text me this morning saying "aye" to something, because we rarely text like that I had to stop myself telling her off for trying to be northern Irish. ( Like me obviously she is)

I think I read too much on here.

On Skl today sir Matt of the forearms has Ronnie O’Sullivan on and called him a maverick and Ronnie said he likes to do a chaos and I am hooting and fizzing.
👍Well he is a genius (maverick) making magic from the chaos?
Meanwhile jack is just chaos?

Is it horrible of me to admit I feel a bit funny about this? My spidey senses are a-tingling. On one hand I feel like a horrible cow for even questioning this but, on the other hand....it’s grifting, innit? #conflicted
No need to feel conflicted. Its grifting. Taking gifts or money from strangers because you are publicly known to not have much is just that. I also question why anyone would give money to a person they don't know IRL. It's not a solution to the wider problem of poverty, it changes nothing. Help out a friend in need, give to/volunteer for charities, support grassroot projects and vote/campaign for change. Everything else is just feeding your own ego .

I read that to the tune of 🎶 someone’s knockin at the door, somebody’s ringin the bell 🎶 😭
Southend woman knocks out former X Factor contestant who attempted to give her £30,000 in prize winnings

“Former foodbank user Jack Monroe said she was feared into violence by a knock on the door. The 32-year-old single-mum-of-one Autism and ADHD suffering cook was seen clawing and wailing on the ground when the injured male told her “I have a 100% success rate in handing out cheques but I will have the last laugh and keep it myself”

(tongue in cheek M’Lud, all for the bants)

To be fair, RM’s car failed it’s MOT and squigs were asking for her PayPal, that’s how ^that post came about.

Difficult for her I guess, but I still couldn’t personally do it. You wouldn’t moan about that in the playground and take your hat off in case any of the other parents wanted to give you a fiver 🤷🏻‍♀️ Online behaviour is bizarre to me.
I thought one of the replies to that post was interesting, someone assuming she was homeless based on the username. Not her fault as I don’t think the name is meant to imply that, and she replied strongly rebutting it, but I wonder how many of the squigs thought that too.

This is going to sound really Tory but I'd tax money from sm PayPal's.

im not Tory but I hate the fact people are asking for money on their SMS, especially as their followers are most likely people in similar boats. JM is a poverty spokesperson and RSM is a person relying on schools free food. Apart from the odd blue tick their followers will be people in similar financial circumstances and they should not be made to feel guilty enough to hand over what little money they have to these "influencers"

bleeping hell - income from cash ‘gifts’ isn’t taxable according to HMRC website! That’s why she’s worded it as a ‘small gift’ - Jeezo. It’s calculated, well-thought out and blatant grifting. My, oh my, oh my. I’m stunned. Truly stunned.
Bloody hell, it’s as if she’s taken grifting lessons
Apologies all I was wrong, clearly no integrity at all, astounding

Same. Think I’ve mentioned it on here before with ref to JM’s grifting, I’ve unfollowed YouTube gardening channels who play the poverty line and ask for donations, post links to their Amazon wishlists. Next thing, they’re demo’ing expensive gifts from companies and are suddenly ‘influencers’.
God I think those Amazon wish lists are somehow worse than the tip jars! The whole "here's a list of stuff I want, now buy me stuff" thing makes me shudder with cringe! 😬 At least with a tip jar you could think the money might go towards a person's overheads, equipment for their business or whatever. But just a bunch of material (often luxury), things that someone wants?! Eeesh 😬.

This tip jar rattling malarkey doesn’t sit right with me either. RM is only known because she (quite rightly) kicked off about the FSM hampers. Nevertheless, this is wrong. She’s not providing a service and is playing the system. I’m pretty poor at the moment, I’m currently working as a Covid vaccinator (🔺) and trying to do my Masters at the same time whilst also struggling with mental health issues and a physical health condition. Years of being on ESA have done for me money wise but there’s not a chance I’d tip jar rattle on SM, I’d sleep even less at night. This blatant online begging is pretty rank.

O M G , again,thanks for posting this, @Blurp , I alternate between cackling like a witch, hooting and not sure if I will ever be able to close my mouth again after doing too much 😯😲😱. I am in awe of the viggles, they won't give up. These are people with real values and standards and not cosplayers.
I love the way they corner them by asking questions...
"Disa**** ki****" - viggles are naming it all.

Who would have thought that compared to this Tattle is a safe and softie soft haven with (sad) Hausfrauen like angels, confined by the Tattle virtual gated community to not confront her and interfere directly.

Twitter is rife with cash app/patreon/buy me a coffee. Lots of youngish looking people saying they need it for rent /to get out of home... There are quite a few trans kids doing it for surgery. Then there is there "lewd" trend. Having one "normal" account and another one which is NSFW and essentially porn which they are uploading and sharing for free/tip jars.

It is a whole different, murky world. Twitter is on our blacklist for the kids devices.

My fave RS moment was him saying he would have to take part in a tournament and the journalist asked why. RS simply repled "school fee aren't cheap mate". I hooted!

Honest about his motivations and his finances... Not like JM then.
